Barack Obama's energy platform included goals for renewable energy, higher automoative gas mileage standards, support for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and targets for energy efficiency of homes...and that's just to start. With the recent announcement of Nobel laureate and now former head of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Steven Chu as Energy Secretary, Obama's administration can be the catalyst that makes alternative energy markets viable.

Will the Obama administration be successful in making the energy changes he promised in the election?

I AM SO STOKED Barack went with Steven Chu for ES, because those kids at Berkeley are really turning out some 21st century science and tech, and their motives are right where they need to be for a brighter tomorrow today.
Here’s a fun article, has nothing much to do with the future of energy policy, but it’s a good read. http://sciencereview.berkeley.edu/articles.php?issue=3&article=perspective
